Description

  The present invention relates to a stationary form installed on a horizontal place such as a floor and a form installed on a wall surface or ceiling in order to respond to diversification of needs of an installation form accompanying a thinning of a display device typified by a television receiver. It is related with the image display apparatus which can be easily adapted and can change a shape.

  In recent years, display devices typified by television receivers have been made thinner and lighter due to improvements in technology such as liquid crystal and plasma displays. As a result, the installation location of the display device is diversified, such as being placed on the wall surface or ceiling, not on the floor.

  For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a support mechanism for a panel-type device in which a pedestal of the panel-type device is formed so as to be rotatable by a hinge, and the pedestal includes a keypad for operating the panel-type device. ing. The horizontal installation state is achieved by rotating the pedestal toward the back of the panel type device from the state where it is installed on a flat surface such as the floor and so that the bottom surface of the pedestal and the back of the panel type device are in the same plane. The wall hanging state can be easily switched.

  Further, Patent Document 2 includes a leg portion that is slidable at both lower ends of the display device body and can be accommodated in the display device body, and is attached to the back surface of the display device body in a rotatable state. And a structure in which the rotating leg portion can be replaced with a wall-mounting metal fitting is disclosed. This means that when installing the display device in a horizontal place, the display device can be erected vertically by the legs and the rotating legs, and when installing by wall hanging, unnecessary legs are stored. The rear pivot leg can be replaced with a wall-hanging bracket, and can be attached to the wall.
